              SOURCE   A  former Cuban  IS officer who  served with  the Cuban  Intelligence
                       Strvice  until April  1964.


                   1.  Although  there are  many members  of the Direccion  General  de-
                       Inteligencia  (General  Directorate  of Intelligence  6 DGI)  who
                       appear  interested  in and favorable  toward .the Communist 'Party,
                       Source  knows of only  three persons  who are actually  members:
                       Saul GONZALEZ,  aibasDenis;  Manuel  VEGA Perez,  alias Marcos
                       Viera;  and Felix SUAREZ,  alias  Federico Santiestoban.
                       SU1REZ wis  a sert cf  rolitical adviser  in the  DGI operations
                       departments,  but  insisted he was  not a commissar,  but, rather,
                       a person  in charge.   Although Source  and the other  officers
                       would  tease SUAREZ by  calling him  Comisario,  SUAREZ greatly
                       resented  the term and  actually physically  attacked  Source  for
                       doing so.   Every Saturday  morning  at 8:jO, SUAREZ  held a
                       political  indoctrination  meeting which'all  personnel  were
                       supposed  to attend    Source was habitually  late  to these- a
                       sessi6ns,  and althcugh  he was given  penalties for  his obvious
                       diiaffeztion,  he never  paid any attention  to them.   The DGE
                       personnel Source  knew were  perfectly willing  to  talk politics
                       among themselves  but  in a rather desultory  way; the  discussions
                       never went on  very long.

                  2.  Apparently  during  1962,  there had been considerable   sentiment
                       for Anibal ESCALANTE  and his  faction,  the Partido Socialista
                       Popular (PSP),  but in 1964,the  PSP group  was disrupted  and
                       th& real loyalty  was to Fidel  CASTRO rather  than to  the Party.
